The 1,000 richest Ethereum (ETH) wallets hold more than $2.36 billion worth of Shiba Inu (SHIB) combined.
What Happened
According to data from WhaleStats, Shiba Inu is now the top ERC-20 token holding amongst Ethereum whales, excluding ETH itself.At the time of writing, the top 1,000 ETH wallets held a combined value of $2,365,211,253 which represented 21.18 percent of their overall holdings.
